On behalf of the London Faculty Sabbatical Review Committee, I am pleased to announce the Ithaca faculty members selected for the 2020-21 academic year.

The Office of International Programs and Extended Studies launched the London Sabbatical Program in 1997 to strengthen the connection between the London Center and home campus faculty. Now in its 23rd year, the program has benefited from the acquisition of a house in Colliers Woods where sabbatical faculty may stay during the course of a semester. Faculty who participate in the sabbatical program serve as a resource to London course instructors and to the OIPES as it collaborates in initiatives to enhance the London experience for Ithaca College students.
